Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut gelegen, nah am Nationalpark und Strand. Über das Hotel hat man dir Möglichkeiten Touren zu buchen, dass Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Leckeres Frühstück a la Carte.

Cons:

Mit dem Preis bezahlt man vorallem die Lage, die Zimmer sind gut, dennoch empfanden wir es als etwas teuer.

Pros:

Alles perfect, behalve het ontbijt. Dat ging volgens een menu met 5 opties, die allen een beetje raar waren.
Locatie kan niet beter. Lopend naar het strand en naar het Manuel Antonio NP.
Zwembaden en kamer zijn mooi

Pros:

Das Hotel sind eigentlich zwei zusammengehörige Hotelanlagen. Wir waren in Espadilla Gardens und das ist eine liebevoll gestaltete Ablage mit familienfreundlichen Zimmern und großen Terrassen mit Sitzgelegenheiten davor. Da kamen immer mal wieder Affen und große Echsen vorbei :)
Frühstück bekommt man im nahegelegenen Hotel Playa Espadilla- das war außergewöhnlich gut!!
Die Pools kann man in beiden Anlagen nutzen.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind etwas dunkel, aber sonst war es wirklich sehr gut!

Agradável mas tem que melhorar a comunicação
Pros:

;localização e café da manha

Cons:

Nao gostei de não ter recebido a informação de que se trata de 2 hotéis separados, o que ocasionou a família ficar separada. Apesar de ser pouca distancia mas se trata de 2 hotéis separados, e isso não foi avisado na hora da reserva. A informação de que as acomodações estariam distante em 50 metros não eh verdadeira , pois na verdade as entradas dos hotéis estão afastados me mais ou menos 100 a 150 metros. Também não gostei da atitude de alterarem o preço de um produto que comprei na lojinha pois informaram que estava com o preço errado. Alteraram a etiqueta incluindo um algarismo no valor original
